Jeremiah Munsen, 18, of Grant Parish, LA, admitted to placing two large nooses on his truck Sep. 20th and driving past a group of marchers gathered at a bus depot in Alexandria, about 35 miles south of Jena, where the march took place in protest of the treatment of the six young, black men now known as the “Jena 6“.
“The defendant used a noose to threaten peaceful civil rights marchers who were in Louisiana to rally against racial intolerance,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Grace Chung Becker.
Munsen, who faces up to a year in prison, will be sentenced at an August 15 hearing.
